Johnson conjures up the Fen with such skill that I felt cold and wet and smelled fish whenever I picked it up. Not the most pleasurable feelings, but Johnson didn't write these stories to give easy pleasure. Which is not to say they are a chore to read - the writing is direct and unfussy, and each story has a lot to give - the online book group I read it with found lots to dig into. In fact, the story I liked the least immediately after reading turned out to be the most amazing, after we talked about it. The stories are all separate, but there links and repetitions that make this book more than a collection. Johnson's Fen is an uncanny place where the line between people, animals and the land can get wavy.
